Suggest Treatment For Lump On Left Side Of Neck

i have had a lump on my left side of the neck for 5 weeks now,,,saw ent last week,,, wants me to get a scan and i didn't really want one now that it has gotten smaller,,,like 1 cm,,, was a 3 for a few weeks.... not sure what to do but i will go see him again this week and see what he says is the best thing to do now,,, i guess i should feel better that it has gotten smaller in size,,, I have been on two rounds of med's ,,, i don't feel sick and lump does not hurt,,, what do u think about the cat scan at this point and do u think it could be something i should take care of even tho it is smaller? thanks michele

HI,Dear,Michele.Very Good NOON from India.Thanks for your query.I understand your concerns.I studied your query in depth.
-I would advise you not to worry.In my opinion its -mostly-resolving lymphadenitis.I would not advise CAT scan -as its not indicated and cost-effective.
-Treatment -Would be to Consult a ER Surgeon.
-Tb-NSAIDs,-Antibiotics for 5 days time.If it reduces and vanishes in 2 wks time OK.
-If it persists still,then EXcision Biopsy and treatment accordingly for the chronic lympadenitis of neck-mostly-TB?Scalp infcectio/ or lymes / would be started by the ER surgeon and would take care of it.
-Hope this relieves your worry-some query. Wellcome for anymore queries in time to come.Have a Good Day.
